Caller ID
Is your number showing up as spam?
Carrier algorithms and complaints can flag a legitimate number — sometimes by mistake. Here’s how to clear it.
Why it happens
Two usual causes.
Carriers and anti-scam apps use algorithms that can flag a number when it makes a high volume of calls.
Numbers also get flagged when people report them — sometimes by mistake, for example just because they didn’t recognize the number.
The fix
